17 Again features Zac as the younger version of Friends actor Matthew Perry, who plays a father whose life hasn’t gone to plan but gets a second chance when he wakes up in Zac’s body.

The 21-year-old actor spoke about getting appendicitis and what his co-star Thomas Lennon advised him do! “I didn’t know what it was at the time and I was just trying to get through a day’s work,” said Zac. Tom [Thomas Lennon] kept telling me, ‘Dude, just eat some Beano; it’s gas, eat Beano,’ ” and I’m like, “ ‘I don’t think so, it doesn’t hurt like that.’ ” And he’s like, “ ‘No, I swear, if the worst comes to the worst, hang upside down.’ ” That was Tom’s advice.
